Oxidative Stress Disrupted Prepubertal Rat Testicular Development after Xenotransplantation

In the past two decades, testicular tissue grafting and xenografting have been well established, with the production of fertilization-competent sperm in some studies. However, few studies have been carried out to observe the development of grafted prepubertal testicular tissue of rats and compare th...
